I'd set
Option "Protocol" "osmouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
inside the InputDevices Section of XF86Config-4.
I have a serial mouse - when I was using settrans with -protocol

used settrans (with the flags to start anew) and specified a
protocol of logitech, it now works fine. I believe that was what
Ivan was seeing, too.
Now to find out why ssh has stopped working, and why I can't run X
apart from as root...
